Transformed into a self-promoted person
"Qi Shuyan! Do you think I haven't died tragically enough? You actually dragged me into 'The First Lone Journey'!"
Mo Zuili looked up at the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Just minutes before, Mo Zuili was lying on the ground, in a hazy state between consciousness and sleep, when her boyfriend Qi Shuyan's familiar voice rang in her ears.
"Sister Li, due to time constraints, I'll keep it brief. You died unexpectedly in a car accident, and I've bound you to the system, bringing us into the world of your favorite novel."
The original owner of this body has reached an agreement with me and voluntarily left.
I'm trapped here and can't find you. The jade bracelet you're wearing has special properties that can save your life, so don't take it off. You must stay alive so I can find you when I'm free, and then we can go back together.
For a moment, Mo Zuili thought she was hallucinating.
System, transmigration into a book...
How could such a supernatural element possibly exist in reality?
At this moment, Mo Zuili looked at her ancient costume with red robes and gold threads, and the blood-red magic array pattern under her feet.
Compared to his extraordinary talent, after falling off the cliff, he only got a little dirty clothes.
Mo Zuili was more inclined to believe that she had truly traveled to another world.
As for her favorite novel, Mo Zuili knew without a doubt that it was "The First Journey".
"The First Journey" is a male-oriented novel, a dark fantasy masterpiece that started strong and went wild on Dianping.
The male protagonist, Shen Ling, does not have a harem, does not follow the path of a loser's rise to power, and does not have a group of passionate friends to help him defeat the villain.
The male protagonist follows the path of a pure-hearted genius!
Before taking the path of pure hatred, the author, in order to create contrast, portrayed Shen Ling as a little sun with a tragic background but a sunny, cheerful, and positive outlook.
His parents disappeared at the beginning of the story, and he was raised by the third elder of the family.
The first chapter of the novel is about Shen Ling, who, despite being a useless person with five spiritual roots, overpowered a group of geniuses in a competition to win first place. He was then noticed by the world's number one alchemist and taken as a disciple.
Afterwards, under the guidance of his master, Shen Ling traveled to many places to cultivate, and along the way he met many close friends who were willing to go to great lengths for him.
During this time, Shen Ling not only helped his brothers fight, but also provided them with psychological counseling.
After she voluntarily became Shen Ling's junior sister, she was ridiculed as a good-for-nothing.
Without saying a word, Shen Ling picked up her sword and went up to beat the chattering man until he was rolling on the ground, and he had to kneel down and apologize to Shen Ling.
At this point, the male and female protagonists are still in the pure senior-junior relationship stage.
However, just as Zitui was about to return to his family and enter a more ambiguous phase with Shen Ling, the climax of the novel arrived.
Shen Ling awakened her demonic bloodline due to the cultivation technique she practiced.
The demon race is a race that everyone on this continent hates.
After Shen Ling awakened his demon bloodline, his former brothers turned against him and turned on him with their weapons. His family immediately expelled him and began to hunt him down. Even the Third Elder, who had taken care of him since childhood, wanted to kill him.
At this moment, only Zitui and his master did not threaten to kill Shen Ling, which prevented Shen Ling from giving up hope of survival.
So Shen Ling abandoned all her cultivation and, barely clinging to life, went to the Demon Realm.
From here, with the last glimmer of light in her heart, Shen Ling began writing this book under the dark fantasy genre.
Mo Zuili, a veteran reader of "The Beginning of the Lonely Journey" and the leader of the alliance who once spent millions on this book, also officially became a fan of "The Beginning of the Lonely Journey" from here.
But don't get me wrong, Mo Zuili didn't get hooked on the story because Shen Ling was so pitiful, or because the pacing was so good, or because it was so enjoyable for readers.
I became a fan of Mo Zuili because of the female lead, Shen Ling's junior sister, who shares the same name as me.
After becoming a fan, Mo Zuili became a junior sister who strongly supported her, spending money and commissioning countless articles to promote herself.
Mo Zuili herself is also a multi-talented female fan of BL (Boys' Love) literature, art, and music. When "The Beginning of Solitude" was still in a niche fandom, she single-handedly created a 72-hour solo relay to celebrate her own birthday.
Mo Zuili, the self-proclaimed young master of the Mo family, one of the four great immortal cultivation families in the story, was originally a genius with extraordinary talent, a rare find in a hundred years. However, he was accidentally poisoned and lost all his cultivation, becoming a cripple.
Aside from the time she spent with Shen Ling after becoming his disciple, she spent the rest of her time in the Mo family, where her own father protected her like a decorative vase.
Even after leaving the Mo family, when she was with Shen Ling, she was still treated like a decorative vase and protected.
Normally, she plays the role of a decorative vase, but when the male protagonist, Shen Ling, is betrayed and abandoned by everyone, she becomes the white moonlight that keeps him alive.
Therefore, more than one reader has criticized that the junior sister should not have been made the female lead at all; making her a supporting female character and a decorative vase would have been more appropriate.
But Mo Zuili was unconvinced outside the book. Through the lines, Mo Zuili could see Zi Tui's ambition to never admit defeat, and that even after losing all his cultivation, Zi Tui never gave up on cultivation.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to restore his cultivation, he will try his best.
While Zitui is relentlessly cultivating within the book, Mo Zuili is out there fighting ten opponents single-handedly, leaving comments one by one against those who say Zitui is unworthy of the female lead's position.
To prevent the author from actually removing her from the female lead position, Mo Zuili spent a fortune, giving away millions in rewards.
The author even gave Mo Zuili a guarantee overnight that Junior Sister would definitely be the female lead in the book, and that she would be given highlights in the future, shedding her "pretty face" label.
Mo Zuili believed it and continued to follow the updates.
She chased the male protagonist to the demon realm to begin cultivating demonic arts, then returned to her family and never appeared again.
Later in the story, during the great battle at Immortal Valley, the master takes Zi Tui into the Immortal Valley to find a way to cure the poison, and the male and female protagonists meet again.
When the battle between the Immortal Valleys reached the point where Mo Zuili was the one who pushed himself to the limit, he was so excited that he drew eighteen fan art pieces to celebrate.
In the next chapter, the author gave Mo Zuili a major setback.
She self-destructed to protect the injured male protagonist!
Dead!
He unleashed a suicidal ultimate attack before dying, instantly killing all the enemies chasing the protagonist.
After Zi Tui died, his master also died from his injuries.
Thus, the last light in the male protagonist's heart was extinguished, and he became completely corrupted, killing anyone who stood in his way.
Other readers cheered and celebrated; the pretty-boy female lead was finally gone, and the male lead could now sever all ties and go all out.
Only Mo Zuili saw this part and got so angry that she smashed her phone.
Mo Zuili completely exploded, frantically calling the author to demand: "Is this how you treat your sugar daddy?! I spent millions not to watch her be sacrificed?! Where's the highlight reel? Where's the highlight reel you promised?!"
Author's reply: Just tell me if there's any highlight?
Mo Zuili: !?
Indeed, compared to the female protagonists in the author's previous books who could only whine and cry for help, the junior sister did have some truly memorable moments.
But what kind of good person would let the female lead die halfway through?
Under Mo Zuili's relentless bombardment, the author apologized: "I'm sorry, I really can't help it, my character development skills are just not good enough. I guarantee you, Junior Sister is definitely the female lead, there won't be any new female leads added later, and the male lead won't fall in love with anyone except Junior Sister."
Who cares who the male lead, Shen Ling, loves! Do you even care if I recommend him?!
I'm spending money because I want her to be able to detoxify and regain her former genius, so that she can fulfill her wish to cultivate normally and seek immortality!
Mo Zuili picked up the keyboard and continued to furiously output to the author.
In the end, the author realized that Mo Zuili was really spending money on the female lead who was just a pretty face, and that she hadn't fallen in love with the male lead because she was the female lead herself. Since the author couldn't afford to offend the rich woman, he could only try to salvage the situation by saying, "I was really bewitched and thought that if I continued to write with the female lead, other readers would abandon the story."
I was wrong! Sister, I'll start planning my junior sister's life story from now on. After the book is finished, I'll write a 100,000-word "what if" storyline extra for her!
I guarantee she'll have a stellar story throughout, a smooth and successful life where she gets everything she wants, living even better than the male lead—the absolute epitome of a powerful, overpowered protagonist! How does that sound?
Considering the author is indeed a master at writing enjoyable stories, it's not bad to live a joyful life in an "if" scenario rather than being the male lead's unattainable love interest in the main story.
Mo Zuili gritted her teeth and agreed.
If only I had known that transmigrating into a book would actually happen to me.
Mo Zuili will definitely find the author before she dies. Forget about a million-dollar reward, she'll even buy the novel's copyright and make the author give her a chance to revive herself.
The wish-fulfillment life in another world is another story, but this world must be resurrected, resurrected on the spot!
Mo Zuili stared at her bright red shirt, feeling frustrated: Not only did she not see the self-promotion side story, but she also transmigrated into this novel before it was even finished. So many hidden plots and foreshadowing hadn't been resolved, and she didn't know how to save herself.
Letting out a long breath, Mo Zuili moved her somewhat stiff wrist, her gaze falling on the jade bracelet on her right wrist, a birthday gift from her boyfriend Qi Shuyan.
In the real world, I have died in a car accident.
Being able to transmigrate into the book and participate in the revival competition is already an unexpected bonus. Let's take it one step at a time and focus on surviving first.
Pulling herself back to reality, Mo Zuili was about to bend down to examine the crimson magic array when a delicate voice suddenly rang out from the forest: "She's definitely in this direction!" The voice was as clear and bright as a nightingale's.
Intuitively, Mo Zuili believed that this person was coming for her, and with malicious intent.
Looking at the complex magic circle pattern on the ground, Mo Zuili hesitated for only a moment before using both hands and feet to quickly begin destroying the pattern.
Judging from the distance and direction of the sound, after destroying most of the pattern, Mo Zuili immediately ran in the opposite direction.
After running only ten or so steps, Mo Zuili clearly understood what the text meant by being so delicate and frail that one could hardly stand the wind.
Every step he took felt like his lungs were being torn apart, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes. A gust of wind made Mo Zuili shiver involuntarily.
Mo Zuili suddenly mocked herself: Back then, to satisfy my own fantasy of a beautiful, strong, and tragic woman, I wrote my favorite character as a sickly beauty in fanfiction. Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I realize how cruel it is.
People need to be healthy.
Mo Zuili gritted her teeth, enduring the discomfort from running, and finally found a tree with lush branches and leaves.
With trembling hands, Mo Zuili clung to the tree trunk, using both hands and feet to climb upwards.
Less than a minute later, Mo Zuili saw a group of men in black approaching the spot where she had just been standing.
The woman who spoke first spoke again: "Mo Zuili is nearby. Find her quickly and kill her. My original bloodline can't hold out for much longer."
The novel unfolds from the male protagonist Shen Ling's perspective, and Mo Zuili, upon transmigrating, did not recover his memories.
After hearing the woman's words, Mo Zuili was full of question marks.
Where is the story at now?
Mo Zuili roughly went through the plot of her self-promotion, but couldn't figure out under what circumstances she would be hunted down.
Having no other choice, Mo Zuili had to spare a glance and continue observing from the tree.
He didn't see the woman who spoke, but only a group of men in black, swords in hand, searching for him with murderous intent.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mo Zuili began to examine herself.
Staring at the silver ring with intricate patterns engraved on her left index finger, Mo Zuili thought of the Sumeru Ring from the novel.
As the young master of a family of cultivators, he must have many magical treasures in his Sumeru Ring, right?
Mo Zuili gripped the Sumeru Ring with her right hand, focusing her consciousness on the ring in an attempt to summon the divine consciousness from the novel.
But no matter how hard she tried to concentrate, Mo Zuili couldn't retrieve the various rare treasures from the Sumeru Ring like in the novel.
Mo Zuili remained on edge, watching for any movement under the tree.
Hearing the search noises under the tree disappear, Mo Zuili's sixth sense kicked in, and she quickly peered down through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
Mo Zuili's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. A voice filled with murderous intent rang in Mo Zuili's ears from under the tree: "Mo Zuili!"
Almost simultaneously, Mo Zuili's body reacted before her brain. Her muscles tensed, and she pushed off the tree branch with both feet, leaping to the left like an arrow.
"call."
The wind whistled past my ears, and the sound of trees crashing to the ground mingled with my rapid breathing.
Mo Zuili barely dodged the falling tree, avoiding the tragedy of being crushed to death by a tree on her very first day in the book.
After rolling on the ground, Mo Zuili quickly got up and ran forward without even having time to look at the group of people behind her.
However, in the world of cultivation and fantasy, Mo Zuili has no spiritual power and cannot outrun anyone.
With a scream, Mo Zuili was knocked to the ground by the gust of air coming from behind, feeling as if her internal organs had shifted.
Seeing the blood dripping from her forehead, Mo Zuili trembled slightly, biting her lip and staring intently at the silver ring on her index finger.
How do I activate my divine sense? If I can't activate it soon, I'm going to die!
As the man in black attacked Mo Zuili with a sword, Mo Zuili instinctively shifted to the side, dodging a fatal blow.
The moment the sword pierced his shoulder blade, excruciating pain exploded like an electric shock.
Mo Zuili's vision went black, but her mind suddenly cleared. A twenty-square-meter void appeared in her mind, filled with jade porcelain bottles, ancient books, and talismans.
Just as the opponent sheathed his sword and prepared to stab again, Mo Zuili reached out and grabbed the blade.
Raising her head, crimson blood trickled down her forehead. Mo Zuili's lips curled into a smirk as she roared, "What did I do to you?!"
As she spoke, she took out a stack of talismans from her Sumeru Ring with her right hand, and without any instruction, infused them with spiritual power before throwing them forward like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
The moment the talisman exploded, Mo Zuili clearly felt her body suddenly lose weight, like a kite with a broken string tumbling in the air, constantly moving backward.
After falling to the ground and struggling to get up, Mo Zuili finally saw the face of the woman who had spoken first.
Her black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she wore a pale yellow outer robe, holding a dark red longsword in her hand.
After assessing her remaining strength, Mo Zuili realized that escape was impossible. This person seemed to be the leader, and subduing him might allow her to survive.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mo Zuili didn't hesitate for a moment. She took out another stack of talismans of unknown purpose, infused them with spiritual power, and threw them forward.
Using the explosion to buy time, Mo Zuili found a whip in his Sumeru Ring. According to the novel, the Azure Flame Whip was his most frequently used weapon and a top-grade magic artifact.
Mo Zuili stared intently at the smoke, preparing to subdue the person with a whip once the smoke dissipated.
But then a commotion broke out behind them.
"What a load of rubbish! Mo Zuili, you piece of trash! Go to hell!"
Mo Zuili had no time to dodge and was stabbed by a sword from behind halfway through her turn.
Feeling difficulty breathing, a passage from a book involuntarily flashed through Mo Zuili's mind: Lung injury can cause vomiting blood.
With great effort, he raised his left hand, but before the ink-stained talisman could even be applied to the person, he saw the person's ferocious face retreating backward.
"Xiao Li!"
